Yes, I regularly use OpenBSD-binary-upgrade script, very useful thing.

One thing I see this could help with, if it's as he says that writing scripts 
for stuff is easier, is getting more software ported for OpenBSD, especially 
if there would later be a way to convert the 'cruxport' script into "proper" 
OpenBSD port. Yes, I do see that on one hand it could hurt the quality of 
such ports... But on the other we would have more people testing various 
software, which is not a bad thing.
